Nintendo Reveals Two New 2DS Colors

Nintendo revealed two new color schemes for its 2DS handheld today, citing an "unforeseen incident" as the reason for their creation.

The new scheme swaps the traditional color setup of the 2DS — black on the front, blue or red on the sides — putting the primary color front and center and shifting the black to the sides.

According to Nintendo, despite allowing Mario's brother Luigi to run the 2DS factory (as seen in the video below, which also features the new color schemes), the color swap was "not at all caused by Luigi accidentally entering the wrong manufacturing code."

"This new color swap will be remembered alongside other such innovations as jelly and peanut butter, or roll and rock," Nintendo said in a statement along with the reveal of the new designs.

Back in May, Nintendo dropped the price of the 2DS to USD $79.99, which will also be the cost of the color-swapped handhelds when they are released next month.
